Mono pitched roofs pitched here means a roof plane rather than a slope and implies it is not a flat roof mono pitched roof shed skillion lean to roof 2.
One side slope roof elevation.
We ll call this distance to peak.
However from the wind uplift mitigation perspective a 7 12 roof slope can be considered as a two story building due to the higher overall steepness and profile of the roof.
This is intended to cover an additional portion to the width of the frame.
This measurement is best done on a bare roof because curled up roofing shingles will impair your measurement.
Sloped roof house elevation.
The design is traditional and comes from colonial times.
It has the upper ridge at the peak 2 slopes on each side and the added characteristic of one side s slope being noticeably longer.
For some houses this will be the center of the house for other roof styles it may not be the center.
The picture below shows the pitch of a 7 12 roof slope meaning that for 12 of horizontal measurement roof run the vertical measurement roof rise is 7.
A roof slope of 7 12 is also good and can provide the additional benefit of helping minimize the effects of wind driven rain.
Sometimes the shorter slope is less pitched than the longer side.
Then calculate distance to peak x roof slope where roof slope is the rise run.
